Not for the first time, the FF16 update that came out this weekend was supposed to include the correction of “minor text issues”, but no official source has been kind enough to specify what those issues actually are, much to the chagrin to those of us who are obsessively trying to archive all the written content in the game (or is that just me? Surely not …). I always wonder if they’ve gone through and fixed the various tomes typos, but I checked one of the ones I remembered and it’s still there, so I guess not. I do see, however, that they’ve changed the spelling of Harpocrates’ surname: previously Hyperboreos, now Hyperboreios. I assume the latter is more in keeping with whatever Greek source this actually comes from, but it makes me wonder how long these changes will go on. Think of all those resources that now have the name in the “wrong” spelling! This game’s been out for nearly six months; how long are they going to keep tweaking it? Isn’t there a point at which you just have to accept the inaccuracies, come up with some in-world explanation for them, and let the game live its own life?
